redruM_0381 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I built a "TT" Subaru Legacy in 2 hours: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/08f9a6a5-566f-40e1-a330-5ef28fa7057f.htm "TT" = Trunk turbo... Its only pushing like 1psi so far, got leaks to fix.. Please keep in mind this is just sh1ts n giggles.... Nothing serious, just a silly experiment. More to come..

Z-TARD Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Looks fast. How many seconds did you shave off your 1/4 mile time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ON3GO Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 what are you doing for a oil feed line and return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruM_0381 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 what are you doing for a oil feed line and return? A squirt of 10w30 in the hole after each run.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 And I thought there was nothing to do in FLORIDA, now I see how you guys get down in Utah! For some reason that makes me think of the DeLorean from Back II the Future. On a semi-related note, when I got rid of my old green z (that survived a head on collision witha horse-the z was parked, the horse hit IT) I gave it to a buddy, and he decided to spend his time doing the gas powered leaf blower supercharger. It seemed a little suspect, but I saw it take a full second off the quarter mile time of that car (went from a 15.6 down to a mid 14 blowing smoke all the way). So if anyone was wondering if that would work, the answer is yes, yes it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruM_0381 Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 UPDATE: Yesterday I taped over all the breather's and vaccum lines @ the manifold to hold in the boost... Holy crap it worked! I was pushing like 5psi according to my tire gauge. Hit like 4k and it came alive! So I take it out for a spin, and it was GREAT for 2 quick runs... 3rd try, I could hear it spool, then "Grrrr" spool, then "Grrrrr" spool then "grrr" Nuts... Bearings are shot, side play on the compressor wheel is like 1/4" now! hahaha Oh well, I guess a squirt of oil after each run isnt enough So for now, the trunk turbo is dead. I could get some bearings and throw em in there. They are only like $10 on ebay. Then rig an electric pump powered oiler to keep it alive. It'll prolly never happen.. RIP Trunk Turbo Oh ya... I FORGOT TO RECORD IT.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
